    Fabulous museum, with a multitude of stelae and Roman remains. The best of Cartagena. The Museum official was very friendly and willing to give information. Thank you!!

    (Translated by Google) You need a restoration to get down. And if the receptionists of the museum are chimneys, they are right because they smoke as if they were living in it inside the museum! Little professionalism and surely little training ... For the rest, it is a very interesting and advisable place to visit. (Original) Le hace falta una restauración para poder bajar abajo. Y si los recepcionistas del museo son unas chimeneas, han acertado de pleno porque fuman como si le fuera la vida en ello dentro del museo! Poca profesionalidad y seguramente escasa formación... Por lo demás, es un sitio bastante interesante y recomendable de visitar.

    (Translated by Google) Cool. It should be a guided tour (Original) Genial. Debería ser una visita guiada

  • 2/5 Tenan P. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Lack of professionalism of the receptionists of the museum smoking inside one cigar after another until I called attention to the smell of snuff throughout the museum, they gave me reason and apologies, but I still want to record because the feeling is that He does it often, I hope this gets somewhere and corrects that attitude. The museum pretty well, under stars for that reason. (Original) Falta de profesionalidad de los recepcionistas del museo fumando dentro del mismo un cigarro tras otro hasta que le llamé la atención por el olor a tabaco en todo el museo, me dieron la razón y disculpas, pero aún así quiero dejar constancia porque la sensación es que lo hace a menudo, espero esto llegue a algún lado y corrija esa actitud. El museo bastante bien, bajo estrellas por ese motivo.

    (Translated by Google) We did not know this museum and it is excellent, as was the reception reception. The guided tour by Ricardo Carrión has been extraordinary. It's nice to find a guide who transmits you with such passion and simplicity five thousand years of history. If you have to put a but, it would be the state of conservation of the building and the lack of value of it. Surely there are pieces in a warehouse worthy of admiration, but still we will repeat. THANK YOU. (Original) No conocíamos este museo y es excelente, al igual que la acogida en recepción. La visita guiada por parte de Ricardo Carrión ha sido extraordinaria. Da gusto encontrar a un guía que te transmita con tanta pasión y sencillez cinco mil años de historia. Si hay que ponerle un pero, sería el estado de conservación del edifio y la falta de puesta en valor del mismo. Seguro que hay piezas en algún almacén dignas de admirar, pero aún así repetiremos. GRACIAS.

    A small museum but fascinating. Built over the remains of an ancient burial ground. Lots of artefacts found in the graves. Also some nice mosaics. There is a audio visual display in English that covers the main exhibit. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit - helpful staff.

  • 5/5 Federico Palau A. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) First line of the sea, very curved decoration, fantastic atmosphere with relaxing music. Nothing expensive and with a very special treatment for which we think is the owner. We will definitely return whenever we pass. Travel to the time of the corsairs. (Original) Primera línea de mar, decoración muy currada, ambiente fantástico con música relajante. Nada caro y con un trato especialísimo por la que pensamos es la dueña. Sin duda volveremos siempre que pasemos. Viaje al tiempo de los corsarios.

  • 5/5 Zoltan K. 5 years ago on Google
    Though a bit oldish, it is nicely set up, and easy to follow the historical periods. I would recommend more English text around, there is a lot to see and read!

  • 5/5 Steven P. 6 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Himal D. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good place to visit to know about old historical things.

  • 3/5 Caspar D. 1 year ago on Google
    The name of the museum is a bit misleading: This is just one of several archaeological museums in the city and certainly not the best one. It lacks real highlights and seems a bit worn and the staff not very motivated. The best thing is the visible necropolis. And it is for free!

  • 5/5 Jose Gomez C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very complete. Impressive burial tombstones. They are translated and it is dizzying to read them. For the rest, very complete, reviewing all the times that Cartagena has passed through. Although the Roman era is the one that predominates (Original) Muy completo. Impresionante las lápidas de enterramiento. Están traducidas y da vértigo leerlas. Por lo demás muy completo repasando todas las épocas por las que ha pasado Cartagena. Aunque la época romana es la que predomina

  • 5/5 Antonio Corbalán P. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I was visiting a month ago. It is away from the historic center, but without a doubt it is the museum of the city that brings together the best archaeological collections, so it must be a must-see. In addition, the visit is free and there are no excessive problems to park nearby. (Original) Estuve de visita hace un mes. Está apartado del centro histórico, pero sin duda es el museo de la ciudad que reúne las mejores colecciones arqueológicas, por lo que debe ser de visita obligada. Además la visita es gratuita y no hay excesivos problemas para poder aparcar cerca.
